PTA Meeting

The first PTA meeting of the year is this Thursday (22nd) at 7.30 in the Plume of Feathers.  Debden Park PTA is very small and in need of new members.  Everyone is welcome, particularly new parents and those who have emailed an interest in the past few months.

ICT Equipment

All students will require a suitable memory stick for the purposes of safe back up and the transfer of work between school and home.  We have sourced enough suitable memory sticks (4Gb) for all students.  These can be purchased from student reception at break and lunch for £5.  A memory stick is as vital to ICT as a pen is to other subjects.

Bus 555 Route Update

Route 555 starts from Waltham Abbey, the bus shelter on the McDonalds Roundabout, runs through
Quaker Lane and turns right at the Tavern, left into Farm Hill Road to the Green Man, along Broomstick

roads with Coppice Row, the bus goes straight across and picks up on The Green, by the bench on the
